In this tutorial nixCraft explains how we can secure a Nginx web server with Let’s Encrypt free ssl certificate.

**Let’s Encrypt** is a free, automated, and open certificate authority (CA), run for the public’s benefit. Let’s Encrypt is a service provided by the Internet Security Research Group (ISRG).

**nginx** [engine x] is an HTTP and reverse proxy server, a mail proxy server, and a generic TCP/UDP proxy server, originally written by Igor Sysoev.
